3rd Sunday of Advent
“God is rich in mercy . . .” Ephesians 2:4
L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and
love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today
against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the
life and dignity of all people.
Bless parents that they may form their chil-dren in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost
loved ones through violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity
in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help
us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we
may be a holy family.

O bid our sad divisions cease,
And be for us our King of Peace.

Sending Forth The King of Glory
Refrain
The King of glory comes,
the na4on rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
liG up your voices.
1. Who is the King of glory;
how shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel,
the promised of ages.
2. In all of Galilee,
in city or village,
He goes among his people
curing their illness.
3. Sing then of David’s Son,
our Savior and brother;
In all of Galilee
was never another.
4. He gave his life for us,
the pledge of salva4on,
He took upon himself
the sins of the na4on.
5. He conquered sin and death;
he truly has risen,
And he will share with us
his heavenly vision.

Ofertorio Madre de los Pobres
Estribillo
Madre de los pobres, los humildes y sencillos, de los tristes y los niños que conPan siempre en Dios. 1. Tú, la más pobre porque nada ambicionaste, tú, perseguida, vas huyendo de Belén. Tú, que un pesebre ofreciste al rey del cielo, toda tu riqueza fue tenerle sólo a Él. 2. Tú, que en sus manos sin temor te abandonaste, tú, que aceptaste ser la esclava del Señor. Vas entonando un poema de alegría “canta, alma mía, porque Dios me engrandeció”. 3. Tú, que has vivido el dolor y la pobreza, tú, que has sufrido en la noche sin hogar. Tú que eres madre de los pobres y olvidados, eres el consuelo del que reza en su llorar. Por: C. Gabaráin©1973. OCP Publica-4ons. Todos los derechos reservados. Usado con permiso. Licencia # 608353.

Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David. Hoy por ser día de tu santo te las cantamos a 4. Despierta, mi bien, despierta;

Ya viene amaneciendo Ya la luz del día nos dio. Levántate de mañana mira que ya amaneció. 2. De las estrellas del cielo, tengo que bajarte dos: Una para saludarte, y otra para decirte adiós. Quisiera ser un San Juan, quisiera ser un San Pedro. Y venirte a saludar, con la música del cielo. Estribillo Final
Con jazmines y flores, hoy te vengo a saludar. Por ser día de tu santo, te venimos a cantar. Tradicional©OCP Publica4ons.Todos los derechos reservados. Usado con permiso. Licencia # 608353.

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
1. Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2. Isaiah 'twas fortold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
3. O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere;
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death now save us,
And share our ev'ry load.

Am I not your Mother?”Mother?”Mother?”Mother?” Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego How fitting it is that the first fort-night of the Advent calendar in-cludes two great Marian feasts, emphasizing the important role the Blessed Virgin plays in the heart of the Church. Mary was a young teenager at the time of the Annunciation, and she was taught to participate in an ongo-ing relationship with God. “Hear “Hear “Hear “Hear O Israel! The Lord is our God, the O Israel! The Lord is our God, the O Israel! The Lord is our God, the O Israel! The Lord is our God, the
Lord alone! Therefore you shall love the Lord, your God, with Lord alone! Therefore you shall love the Lord, your God, with Lord alone! Therefore you shall love the Lord, your God, with Lord alone! Therefore you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength.” all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength.” all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength.” all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength.” Deut. 6:4. John the Baptist was the prophet chosen by the Father to prepare the world for the First Coming of Jesus; Mary is the prophet of the Second Coming. St. Paul tells us, “Do not “Do not “Do not “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good.” everything; retain what is good.” everything; retain what is good.” everything; retain what is good.” Thess. 5:16. Mary began early in the life of the Church to prepare the world for the future and she continues to this day. Through her appari-tions to Juan Diego in Mexico, millions of pagans were con-verted and so ended the sacrificial killing of the people to satisfy the appetites of their pagan gods. Does that sound like what is taking place today? However, Mary comes to her children, filled with hope. She speaks truth to us by remind-ing us that there are serious consequences if we do not fol-low God’s teachings, but she emphasizes His love and for-giveness. “The Almighty has done great things for me, and “The Almighty has done great things for me, and “The Almighty has done great things for me, and “The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in holy is His name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in holy is His name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in holy is His name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation… He has come to the help of His servant every generation… He has come to the help of His servant every generation… He has come to the help of His servant every generation… He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy.”Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy.”Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy.”Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy.” Luke 1:49-50,54. This Advent let us spend time with our Mother, letting her love us, asking her to speak to us in the depths of our souls and praying, ”Mary teach me to leave the things of the world behind. Help me to truly understand that the most im-portant, urgent matter is to surrender my life to Jesus your Son.” For information on the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart, please contact Anne-Marie d'Abadie - 443-2204 or email [email protected] (English) or Lynda Peña - 338-4306 (Spanish).

Sométanlo todo a prueba y retengan lo BuenoSométanlo todo a prueba y retengan lo BuenoSométanlo todo a prueba y retengan lo BuenoSométanlo todo a prueba y retengan lo Bueno. Tesalo-nicenses 5:16 María comenzó temprano en la vida de la iglesia para preparar el futuro del mundo y sigue hasta es-te día. A través de sus apariciones a Juan Diego en México, los millones de paganos se convirtieron y por tanto terminó la matanza de sacrificio de la gente para satisfacer los ape-titos de sus dioses paganos. María viene a sus hijos, llena-dos de esperanza. Ella habla con verdad a nosotros por que nos recuerda que hay graves consecuencias si no seguimos las enseñanzas de Dios, pero enfatiza su amor y perdón. Mi alma alaba la grandeza del Señor;Mi alma alaba la grandeza del Señor;Mi alma alaba la grandeza del Señor;Mi alma alaba la grandeza del Señor; mi espíritu se alegra mi espíritu se alegra mi espíritu se alegra mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador. Ayudó al pueblo de Israel, su siervo,en Dios mi Salvador. Ayudó al pueblo de Israel, su siervo,en Dios mi Salvador. Ayudó al pueblo de Israel, su siervo,en Dios mi Salvador. Ayudó al pueblo de Israel, su siervo, y y y y no se olvidó de tratarlo con misericordia.no se olvidó de tratarlo con misericordia.no se olvidó de tratarlo con misericordia.no se olvidó de tratarlo con misericordia. Lc 1:49-50,54.

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself en-tirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.
Acto de Comunión
Espiritual Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te
amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-
nos ven a mi corazón espiritual-mente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.
